Peregrine Pass

"Beautiful!" Daniel Madison
It's not often we stumble upon a secret technique that looks authentic to the natural action taking place, in this case - closing a spread of cards. With the Peregrine Pass, what happens "behind the scenes" when compared to the polished performance is night and day. This is sleight of hand at its finest! Learn how it's done in this in-depth tutorial by professional magician, Daniel Prado.
"An incredible move that any cardman who works on the table should have in his arsenal of sleights." Richard Kaufman
"There are very few ‘tabled action passes’ in existence. The performer usually has to manipulate the selected card before or after a ribbon spread. Daniel Prado has created a technique that allows you to do the “dirty work” under the cover of a much larger, natural action, which is always a good thing. If you do tabled card work (and you should!), Prado’s ‘Peregrine Pass’ is a deceptive, unassuming, and useful addition to your arsenal." Jason England
"It was all done, and I was still waiting for the move! I would say Daniel’s Peregrine Pass looks incredible – except there is really nothing to see!" Pit Hartling
Customer reviews for Peregrine Pass
Concerns I had from the beginning prior to purchase along with the answers.
- How difficult is the sleight? If you can do basic card manipulation or sleights you can do this.
- Can the spectator sign the card? Yes.
- Can the spectator place the card? Technically yes, but I would advise not doing it.
- Is this real magic? Close, but no.
In the end, I just have to say learn this move before it is referred to as "The Classic Table Pass".

Although simple, it will take you some time and practice to get it smooth enough so that it is invisible. There are some limitations as to where you replace the selected card in the spread but this is minor.
The sleight opens up a myriad of possibilities and, when done correctly, looks completely natural and is undetectable. Recommended.
It requires a bit of practice but it's not a knuckle busting move. The tutorial is quite short but goes over everything you need and provides nice subtleties.
Also, without revealing too much, Daniel doesn't mention it but it's possible to do this control by pushing the card inside the deck and then spreading it. I like this method better because the spectator cannot accurately know where his card is before you do the control.
Highly recommended
The performance video is just over a minute and immediately grabs your attention—it looks effortless. What’s happening behind the scenes is a completely invisible pass, and the contrast between method and effect is striking. This is sleight of hand at its finest: efficient, elegant, and incredibly deceptive.
Prado starts with a brief history of the pass and makes it clear this is designed for tabled card work. His teaching is clear, and the inclusion of over-the-shoulder shots is a great touch, making it easier to follow finger positions and movements. And yes, they really like their piano music in these videos—it sets a calm, focused tone.
If you’re looking to add a highly deceptive pass to your arsenal that flies under the radar and doesn’t feel like a move, the Peregrine Pass is worth studying. It’s refined, practical, and extremely clever.
gonna take a little while.
